Show HN: Create a beautiful website, portfolio and resume

If this product is really good the ‘advertising’ should be the founder’s profile, or a gallery of several interesting profiles (fully functioning, not resume screenshots).

Nothing else.

Your current marketing site gives me zero experience of your product. Which is a marketing site!

Doesn't the Templates page do just that?

I am also a bit confused and might need a bit more details. What do you mean by founders profile?

Came to say something very similar. While having a prominent call to action button makes sense, the call to action is basically ALL I see when I land on an iPhone. There’s 0 chance I will click a button without some enticement as to what the service is about.

And given that it’s a site aimed at helping you sell yourself or your work to people, then the first thing we would want to see is a very compelling sales pitch.

E.g., make the site a resume for itself. “See how beautifully this site is being sold to you? Imagine doing that for yourself / your stuff!”

That's a good point, I guess no one just jumps to sign up. Maybe a good CTA would be -> check out the templates.

Hey HackerNews, it's been a while! Resoume is a platform where you can create a beautiful website, portfolio and resume for your next job interview. It is also the biggest project I worked on as a solo frontend developer with joy, love, sweat and tears

I have been working on for a bit over a year now. You may know the last post from me (or not). It started as a resume builder but the bigger picture I had in mind was a platform to build your online presence for the job search.

Here are some of the new features:

- 14 New Beautifully Designed Templates

- A Personal Website Builder

- Analytics For Your Online Applications And Website

- Job Board

- CNAME and A Record Support

- White-Label Solution For Companies

I love to work on Resoume and I think you can tell by just looking at it. Recently I was thinking if it might make sense to offer an API where other people/businesses could use Resoume to create resumes.

Would love to hear your thoughts :)

I just send employers to my GitHub profile which I've written as a CV.

That also does the trick! However, not everyone knows how to create a GitHub profile. And if you are not a developer, it might be a bit weird to send a GitHub profile :D
